The shop manual tells you how to take the whole mirror assembly apart without breaking anything. You start by taking the mirror glass out. There are a couple of You tube videos that demonstrate the factory way. I had to replace the the front housing due to the P.O. hitting something with the mirror. Took it all apart and fixed it without any clips breaking.

The part numbers that end with “ptm” are the paint-to-match.

Hello....
I've been looking everywhere. I have an AFTERMARKET set of ford 20 something truck tow mirrors. I ordered the caps that i thought would fit, but they dont. The amazon caps, from two different sellers, are both too small to fit our mirror.
Has anyone encountered this? Is there a simple solution, like, later years mirrors are smaller or bigger and the caps are different?
I will get the mirror and the caps and post pics.
Thank you.
